MARSEILLE EN FLEURS – yellow flower-bed shrub rose - Massad
Bring a touch of French charm to your Irish garden with Marseille en Fleurs, a tall, upright shrub rose that rewards you with abundant clusters of large, cup-shaped blooms from early summer right into autumn. The bi-coloured flowers open golden-yellow with a carmine-red edge, slowly softening to cream and rose-pink, so the bush always looks colourful and lively from a distance. Bred for streets and parks, it shrugs off the humidity and fungal pressure of our wetter climate, offering reliable health with very little fuss. As a 2‑litre, own-root plant it settles in steadily, forming a long-lived, balanced shrub that sprouts from its own base if ever cut back hard. You get a strongly fragrant rose with classic perfume, robust growth to around head height, and excellent resilience to common diseases. In year one it concentrates on roots, year two on building bushy shoots, and by year three it shows its full garden presence.

Origin and breeding
Bred by Dominique Massad, Pépinières Pétales de Roses, France; breeding year 2009, introduced 2010, initially distributed by Novaspina, developed for robust performance in public and private plantings.
Growth and structure
Strong, upright shrub 130–180 cm high, spreading 85–120 cm, with dense, slightly glossy mid‑green foliage and moderate thorns, giving a full, vertical presence suitable for beds, borders and specimen use.
Flower morphology
Large, semi‑double, cup‑shaped blooms in clusters, 13–25 petals, repeat‑flowering with an abundant second flush, providing extended ornamental value as individual flowers and on the overall bush.
Colour and phenology
Golden‑yellow petals with carmine‑red edging; buds deep yellow with scarlet rims, ageing through warm yellow to cream and rose‑pink, creating a multi‑toned display throughout the long flowering season.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong classic rose fragrance, noticeable near the bush and along paths; semi‑double blooms are only partially accessible to pollinators, attracting relatively few insects compared with single‑flowered varieties.
Rose hip characteristics
Rose hip set is limited due to semi‑double blooms; occasional small spherical red hips, around 8–12 mm in diameter, may appear later in the season, adding a light decorative accent.
Resistance and hardiness
Good heat tolerance with watering in prolonged drought; hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); high resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust in typical garden conditions.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun; low maintenance with minimal pruning; spacing 85–150 cm depending on hedging, bedding or specimen use; suitable for flower beds, parks, urban greening schemes, cut flowers and larger containers.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
